About The Event

Ladakh can be a difficult place to travel. The mountains are steep and in the winter snowfall closes many of the mountain passes and makes the roads treacherous. Some villages become completely inaccessible between November and March. One method of accessing snow-bound villages during the winter is trekking on top of the ice of frozen rivers. The Chadar trek is one such route, connecting villages in the Zanskar valley (deep in the mountains) with Chilling (on the road to Leh) along the frozen Zanskar River. This route has been used for centuries for trade and transportation, and is most reliable in January-February when the ice is most stable.

Your itinerary includes meals (on trek), accommodation during camping and in Leh, trek rental equipment, permit, first aid kit & oxygen cylinder, Transportation from Leh to trek base and back and qualified and experienced instructors.
